Here we are on another journey through random drink assortments, old and new. Obscure and retro. Good and evil. Pretentious and heartwarming. Some are still around and common at the local mini-mart, but hey, I need to fill some space on the site to justify renewing it next year. Monster Import: If nothing more, this…
Blood Tea and Red String (2006)
Stop-motion is one of my favorite forms of animation. The works of Jan Svankmajer and the Tool videos are some of my favorites. There’s just something about the final production that, while not as smooth or realistic as CGI can be nowadays, the level of detail is unsurpassed and often results in many surreal environments. …
Soda Batch #4
This review cost me over $4, so I think I’ve hit my quota for spending on reviews. I suppose that isn’t too bad for six rather large cans, but then again I suppose they should be six good cans of something. Either way we all still lose. Ranging from 60-70¢, each of these came in…

Arcade (1993)
For a short while, this was playing on cable a lot. I remember first seeing it at 15 in a hotel room in Delaware trying to pass the time. Later on my parents had actually gotten a better cable package, so it was on HBO or one of those channels. At the time sci-fi was…
A Crack in the Floor (2000)
I rented this a long time ago. Gary Busey was misleadingly given one of the top billing slots. Now I don’t know why that fact alone was the tipping point for renting the movie, but I also don’t know why I ended up buying the movie in the sales bin year later either after knowing…
DMX Carnivorous (2008)
I shouldn’t act surprised about these types of movies. I really shouldn’t. I suppose the first hint was that it not only starred DMX, but it was also directed and produced by him. Now as far as rap goes, I did find him one of the more tolerable artists, and the constant barking was at…
Public Enemies (1935)
While I’m usually a proponent of the private sector spearheading many innovative trends, and government usually bloating things to the point of extreme inefficiency, I must admit I was wrong about one thing: gratuitous death footage. While Faces of Death is the grandfather of gore, despite being mostly faked, it certainly sparked off many imitations…
Retro Commercials – Batch 1
Welcome to the first installment of retro commercials. The first may be the last, since I don’t have any others on hand at the moment, but we’ll go with it regardless. The following are commercials that I’ve personally taken off old VHS tapes, so I’m not just meandering around Youtube looking for update fodder. We…
Rejuvenatrix (1988)
Much like the Re-Animator (who’s popularity I imagine this film tried to play off of), Rejuvenatrix covers the issue of messing with a part of life that should not be meddled with. In the Re-Animator, it was death, but in this movie the concept of eternal youth and beauty is the main focus. The fountain…
